With the passage of time, people would often be able to adapt to a new life.
Chen Feng's prestige in the Sea God's Residence was unquestionable. His legendary personal strength and the land he led everyone to live on were enough to convince Pang Mu's old forces to submit to him and pledge their loyalty. However, there was still one final test before them.
That was whether they were willing to give up their lives outside, obey Chen Feng's orders, and be stationed here.
These people who had drifted here from the sea were no strangers to this land. After all, they had lived here for a period of time. Moreover, with the help of Naya's people, they had even built their own home, a home that they had built in an unfamiliar world.
Other than those who dared to resist, after being eliminated at the first instance, the fence-sitters and the "heroes" who took the lead to defect still enjoyed the respect they deserved.
Chen Feng ordered Wei Xun to guard this place in order to win over the hearts of the people. On this point, Xu Hongzhuang was too straightforward and could be considered a person who could not tolerate sand in her eyes. As for Lu Wei, he was still young and was in charge of the Dark Department because the Dark Department was a product of order and was Chen Feng's personal army. With Chen Feng, this huge mountain, relying on Chen Feng, who would dare to act rashly?
Chen Feng knew the path of no fish when the water was clear. The mountain here was high and the Emperor was far away. In addition, he had just killed the other party's leader and brought hundreds of thousands of people to an unfamiliar land. If he was too harsh, it was very likely that there would be a backlash. Among the three of them, only Wei Xun was qualified for this position.
Wei Xun did not care about trifles and had seen all kinds of people who wanted to survive. Placing him in this position was a decision that Chen Feng had made after thinking for a long time.
In truth, Wei Xun had done a good job. In the past half a year, he had given the old subordinates of the Sea God's Residence sufficient authority and had not oppressed them blindly. As long as the matter was not too excessive, he would turn a blind eye to most of it.
Of course, Wei Xun also knew that he was a general without an army. Thus, he had roped in a group of people during this period of time. These people had risen from humble beginnings and hadn't received much attention in the Sea God's Residence. It could be said that with Wei Xun's help, they had risen to the top in one fell swoop. Thus, they followed Wei Xun's lead. In addition, Wei Xun had also contacted the Naya people. Trying to divide the Naya people in half a year was too laughable, but it could also be considered a kind of investment. Under the bombardment of sugar-coated bullets, more and more people in the Naya people were familiar with the products of the human world. Even some experts with decent strength were slowly accepting the convenience and enjoyment of the human world.
However, in this mortal world, the hardest thing to satisfy was the human heart.
Under Chen Feng's suppression, they had not dared to act rashly. But now that Chen Feng had disappeared for so long, it was inevitable that they would have other thoughts.
Among them were many veteran factions of the Sea God's Residence. They had once been loyal subordinates of Pang Mu. It could be said that, just like Wei Xun and Lu Wei, many of them were Pang Mu's right-hand men. It was just that they had been intimidated by Chen Feng and had not dared to act rashly. They could not forget Chen Feng's terrifying strength. The once incomparably powerful Pang Mu had been killed because he had angered Pang Mu.
It was precisely because of Chen Feng's deterrence that no matter how many thoughts these people had, they would firmly suppress them, not daring to expose themselves.
But one month passed, two months passed, and then half a year passed. That demon hovering over their heads still had not appeared.
"Could it be that the demon is already dead?"
"This is an unfamiliar land. Perhaps once we leave, we won't be able to return!"
"Does this mean that we have regained our freedom and can do some of the things we want to do?"
The members of the [Old Faction] were still thinking about it nervously. After another week, with a Gold Ranker as the middleman and a few Responders agreeing, the members of the [Old Faction] gathered together.
They sat together, not for anything else, but to discuss the path they should take in the future.
Everyone knew the purpose of everyone gathering here today, so they put on clean clothes. These mighty professionals gathered in the hall of the commander somewhat uneasily, whispering to each other from time to time.
The main content of their discussion was whether the demon hovering over their heads would appear again.
"I heard that Wei Xun has made a new move. He wants to conquer new lands and try to enslave some natives!" A young professional said to his companion beside him, "Many people died in the last expedition. My younger brother died in this battle. I didn't expect that he would start a new round of crusades in such a short time!"
Another professional seemed even more worried, "I participated in the last expedition. The overall strength of those natives was not strong, but when they entered the forest, they were like fish in water. A group of thirty of us went in, and in the end, only three survived. Even I was seriously injured, and I just recovered recently."
"Wei Xun has his own plans. Most of the people who participated in the attack were not truly loyal to him, such as … us."
A tall and thin professional frowned, "The rest of the so-called logistics personnel and personal guards are all bastards who rebelled. They have wholeheartedly pledged their allegiance to Wei Xun. Because of this, in the previous battle, they basically had zero casualties!"
"Isn't it all because of the warriors under our command that we can still maintain our current status? If all of our subordinates die, how can we maintain our influence? As time goes on, we will also become cannon fodder one day, at the mercy of others. "
The professionals were worried. Someone whispered, "We should express our attitude. Even if Wei Xun is the spokesperson of Sir, he is too selfish. If this goes on, there will be people who can't stand it and resist!"
These words were inevitably harsh to the ears. There will always be people. Weren't they talking about the people here? After all, in this new land, apart from these ten people, there was no other force that could act against Wei Xun.
At this point, everyone moved their eyes to the most central position. It was a professional in his early fifties. He looked extremely steady, and his strength had even reached the peak of Gold. He could be considered the brains of these people.
The professional who was being watched was silent for a long time. He frowned and shook his head slightly, "It depends on the situation. Let's take it one step at a time."
This answer was obviously not reassuring, so the professionals gradually began to discuss again, whispering non-stop.
All this until the exceptionally tall and strong man in black with a dignified face walked into the hall.
Their whispered discussion immediately stopped. Everyone couldn't help but shift their gazes away.
Everyone in the hall was a little restless. Because the one who came was none other than the nominal leader of this human city, as well as the target of everyone's crusade, Wei Xun!
How did he find this place?
Could it be that he already knows what we're discussing?
This person is vicious and merciless. Instead of waiting and waiting, it's better to take the initiative to attack. Otherwise, should we keep him here and completely take over the sovereignty of this place?
